My obsession for glass Christmas ornaments goes back nearly five decades. As a kid kicking through antique shops and flea markets with my Mom, I loved digging through boxes of old discarded Christmas decorations which is where my love for vintage European glass began.
This first little collection offers a nostalgic nod to old-fashioned baubles from Germany, Poland and a new twist on traditional Czech Republic glass beads.
Inspiration comes from many outlets but what I mostly rely on are the memory postcards from my childhood of past Christmas celebrations and dreams of future joyful holidays to come. I spent hours creating Christmas fantasies while carefully dissecting the anticipated Sears Wish Book.
… only to fold it into a lovely metallic catalog angel the following year.
After 40+ years of collecting, my passion for these shiny treasures finally offered the opportunity to design ornaments I couldn’t find.
I jumped at the chance and after many long months of learning and waiting, I am excited to share these small batch baubles with my friends, fellow collectors, enthusiasts …… and Mom.
I hope you will treasure these pieces as they become part of Christmas celebrations and holiday traditions for decades to come.
Thank you for being a part of my dream.
Enjoy!
